Bearclaw Valley and i hit the ground running

two new broods joined the valley this past week, and nephele had made herself busy with gathering items to gift to each of the couples. each of the mothers had a loving partner to support them through this time, but even with the assistance of dutiful husbands, the stormcloud knew of the stress and exhaustion that came with a new litter.

she had been gathering a small collection of gifts for each new mother. the gifts were carefully separated to two piles, wrapped neatly in dried furs and tucked away for later. there was still one gift she had yet to aquire, and had set off through the valley in search of it.

with any luck, she might have the bundles finished and delivered to each mother by sunset.
